Youth Mentor, Alpha - $100,000/year USD

About the role

This role is not about teaching. It is about motivation. The most meaningful way to support a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete.

Responsibilities

• Facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops for K-8 groups covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other transferable competencies, modifying existing frameworks and creating new sessions when needed
• Conducting daily one-on-one and small-group coaching sessions that drive every student toward 100% completion of weekly app objectives, leveraging Coachbot data, Alpha's reward structures (campus currency, performance rankings), and individual relationships to overcome reluctance
• Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's competency-based evaluation) for each life skill, and continuing to coach students through retakes until mastery is achieved
• Tailoring your approach across a broad developmental spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high engagement and physical activity to eighth graders needing candid conversations and personal accountability
• Serving as the adult who maintains standards and the adult students trust; building rapport earns you the credibility to challenge, and that challenge signals your confidence in their potential

Requirements

• Prepared to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Brownsville, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central, South, or The Woodlands); Park City, UT – support for relocation is available
• Bachelor's degree in any discipline
• Minimum of 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (including classroom instruction, athletic coaching, tutoring, camp counseling, or youth program management)
• A concrete example you can articulate of guiding a K-8 student toward a challenging objective: the objective itself, your actions, and the result
• Comfort with AI systems managing instructional delivery while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
• Regular use of generative AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
